           Summary: junit task timeout fails to write log information to xml
                    and brief formatters
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bmf@opentext.com

When a <junit> timeout occurs, the formatter log files do not contain the logs
of the test, though if you use "showoutput=true" the logs are visible on the
console.

If I have a formatter set up for the <junit> task and a timeout occurs during a
test execution, then the log output of the test does not appear in the formatter
text file.  However, if I specify "showoutput=true" in the <junit> task, then
the output of the test appears in the console.

<junit
	printsummary="true"
	fork="true"
	dir="${ecm.basedir}"
	haltonfailure="true"
	failureproperty="test.failed"
	timeout="600000"
	maxmemory="1024m"
	showoutput="${junit.showoutput}">

	<formatter type="brief" />
	<formatter type="xml" />

If a timeout occurs after 10 minutes, the *.TXT and *.XML files of the formatter
do not contain any log output. They only have a couple of lines indicating that
a timeout occurred.

However, if I set showoutput to true, then the console contains all of the
logging data of the test prior to the timeout, which makes it much easier to
figure out why the test timed out.

In our case, we use the MailLogger to send out the log, so we can't have all the
output going to the console, since it grows too large to be sent via e-mail.

The doc for the showoutput attribute indicates that it should be the same data
that goes to the formatters:

Showoutput - Send any output generated by tests to Ant's logging system as well
as to the formatters. By default only the formatters receive the output.
